US soldier killed in Iraq

A US soldier has been killed and three others injured in an attack on a convoy in Iraq.

Grenades and shots were fired at the convoy as the soldiers were returning to their base at Baquoba, 60 kilometres (40 miles) north-east of Baghdad.

Captain David Nelson, from the 4th Infantry Division's 2nd Brigade, said one of the soldiers would have to have a leg amputated.

The death brings to 65, the number of US soldiers killed in attacks since George Bush declared major combat operation over on 1 May.

It's really very sad. These stories are becoming far too commonplace. :-(
